BlackJack and drooping leaves.... Let me explain

Found the answer to my own problem, see bottom.

So my plant was drooping a couple days ago (just started 12/12) I thought I had overwatered it (was trying to keep leaves moist so they didnt burn up)
So i stopped watering... The plant still looked terrible so decided to water it that same day, 15-50 minutes later the plant picked up its leaves and spread them out.

Now 2 days later its starting to droop again, thing is the soil is still moist

I used a little over 500Ml of water, the plant is small less then a month old.. Suggestions?

Only other thing I can see maybe causing it is I do have uv-b light I put on for a bout 4 hours a day maybe this young plant dislikes when its so young.. Anyway I turned off the Uv-B light and I guess time will tell but I doubt it will pick itself up until I water it again.. Which won't be until at least tomorrow because the soil is still moist even at the top.

Does this strain just love water or something?

Can lack of sufficient nutrients cause leaves to droop? I plan on hittin them tomororow with nutes I only gave it nutrients once and actually that was 10 days ago (time fly's)

Screw it ill water/ add nutes today see if that's the deal.. I'll update.. bottom leaves are really drooping and they are quite moist


What do you know leaves have picked themselves up guess it was just thirsty... Even tho parts of the top of the soil were moist still.

Hey man. I have grown BJ a few times but always in hydro. Are you looking at it late in it's day. You know like a hour ar so before the lights go off. If you are plants normally seem to droop then. Just because they ate tired and are ready for bed. Get rid of the UVB and atleast go grab some cfl. Hope this helps. STAY HIGh!!!
P.S. BlackJack was some killer buds.

Man they still droop like crazy, but it's in the middle.. I see no reason... They just like to be wet I swear.

It start's at the bottom so the when the bottom leaves hit the ground i water it.

I had a dream I had a plant that grew all weird the stem was super long and bended even in 90 degree angles all over but they're was lots of bud.

I swear every 2 days they want water.
